Acidity in Pakistan

In Pakistan, women are frequently victims of acid attacks. I read an article about Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy received an Oscar for "Saving Face", a documentary on women in Pakistan who have been burned by acid as a weapon. Acid is cheap and easily acquired, and has a devastating effect. These attacks leave women horribly disfigured and in many cases blind. The documentary has raised awareness of this problem, which happens to over 150 Pakistani women. As many as 70% of the cases go unreported, while few of the attackers are brought to justice. The government in Pakistan passed a law which gives a 14 years to life sentence for anyone found guilty of an acid attack. Like many other laws regarding women, it has yet to be vigorously enforced. The culture needs to reform women's rights before the law can be entirely effective. It will also require the women who have been attacked to stand up and report the incidents, which is very difficult in the current society.

Do you think that with the public support that the movie has gained, the laws will be more strictly enforced and effective?
